I've been playing around with this card, trying to find a good deck for it. My first thought was to pair with Ugin, Eye of the Storms, since the two help ramp into each other.
I initially tried a dedicated Ramp deck but I found that Emrakul is actually pretty bad in that strategy; it just didn't do enough to stabilize the board when I was behind, even when I could cast it on turn 4 or 5, and untapping all of my lands was usually kind of pathetic when all I could do with the extra mana was cast more ramp spells.
Now, I'm playing with a Big deck, trying to use Emrakul to ramp into Charred Foyer / Warped Space and cast Emrakul for free; with that pattern I can, at worst, use the untapped lands to unlock the Foyer to still have something going on if Emrakul prompts a Day of Judgment or whatever. I've been liking this deck a lot more and a mixture of acceleration and removal to slow the game down seems like a better fit, since it gives more time to draw into a big play rather than needing it right away to have a chance like in the pure ramp deck.
Anyone else being experimenting with Emrakul? Any insights or ideas to share?

I'm kind of skeptical about Harmonized Trio becoming prepared in a deck with only 10 creatures, especially since tapping The Mindskinner instead of attacking with it is kind of a waste. I'd replace the Trio with something evasive to have a better chance of casting Kitsune's Technique for it's sneak cost; Spectral Sailor or Most Decrepit Old Bird, maybe, for cheap creatures that still have some value if you draw them in the late-game.

#1OK, I can see it; cast Emrakul, untap your lands, equip Emrakul with Fishing Pole and make a Fish token every turn until your opponent surrenders and then you go and watch Shrek together.
